The comedy genre also saw a significant hit with Ohm Shanthi Oshaana , directed by Jude Anthany Joseph. This romantic comedy, told from the perspective of a spirited young woman (Nazriya Nazim) who pursues her reluctant love interest (Nivin Pauly), was fresh, vibrant, and a major box-office success. It cemented Nivin Pauly’s status as the "boy next door" and launched Nazriya as a leading star. Similarly, Vellimoonga , starring the veteran comedian Mammukkoya in his first lead role, was an unexpected sleeper hit, proving that a simple, heartwarming story could resonate deeply with family audiences.

The most dominant and successful genre of 2014 was the character-driven thriller, often laced with dark humour. The undisputed king of the box office this year was Drishyam , directed by Jeethu Joseph. Released in December, it was not just a film but a cultural phenomenon. Starring Mohanlal in one of his finest performances as Georgekutty, a humble cable TV operator with a genius for manipulation, Drishyam was a perfect storm of writing, direction, and acting. Its narrative, built on the simple premise of a family covering up an accidental murder, captivated audiences. The film’s success proved that a star-driven vehicle could succeed on the strength of its script rather than mass action sequences. Drishyam redefined the potential of the mainstream Malayalam thriller and remains a benchmark for the genre. 2014 released malayalam movies
